TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to substituted 2-(benzyloxy)pyrimidine compounds of Formula Ib, Formula Ia, and Formula I along with their polymorphs, stereoisomers, tautomers, prodrugs, solvates, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof which are inhibitors of PD1/PD-L1 activation. The present invention also relates to method of synthesizing the compounds of Formula Ib, Formula Ia, and Formula I.

The compounds described herein are inhibitors of PD1/PD-L1 activation and may be used in the treatment of cancer, and other diseases or conditions associated with activation of PD1/PD-L1.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Tumor development and survival is a chaotically governed process involving the interplay between cancer cells, normal stromal cells and host defence mechanisms (Vinay D S et al., Seminars in Cancer Biology, 2015, 35: S185-S198). Generally, CD8+ cytotoxic T cells (CTLs) and CD4+ helper T (Th1) cells curb cancer development via mechanisms commonly involving the production of interferon (IFN)-γ and cytotoxins (Zamarron B F et al., Intl. J. Biol. Sciences, 2011, 7(5):651-658). Tumors have, however evolved a number of mechanisms to escape immune eradications. The PD-1/PD-L1 molecular pathway is one such primary mechanism of cancer immune evasion.

PD-1 is a type 1 trans-membrane protein encoded by the PDCD1 gene. It is a member of the extended CD28/CTLA-4 immunoglobulin family and one of the most important inhibitory co-receptors expressed by T cells (He J et al., Scientific Reports, 2015, 5:1-9). PD-1 is absent on resting T cells but is induced on activated T cells. It is also expressed on B cells, NK cells, dendritic cells (DCs) and macrophages. The programmed cell death protein (PD-1) down regulates the immune system and prevents it from killing cancerous cells present in the body. In cancer, high levels of PD-1 are detected in tumor infiltrating T cells and this expression has been associated with impaired CD8+ T cell function (Leung J et al., Immune Network, 2014, 14(6):265-276).

PD-1 has two ligands: PD-L1 (also named B7-H1; CD274) and PD-L2 (B7-DC; CD273), that are both co-inhibitory (Flies D B et al., Yale J. Biology Medicine, 2011, 84(4):409-421). PD-L1, expressed on almost all murine tumor cells, is the major ligand for PD-1 mediated immune suppression. It is constitutively expressed on APCs and can be broadly induced on cells in both lymphoid tissues and non-lymphoid peripheral tissues following cellular activation (Flies D B et al., Yale J. Biology Medicine, 2011, 84(4):409-421; Dong Y et al., Oncotarget, 2017, 8(2):2171-2186). The cytokine IFN-γ is particularly effective in up-regulating PD-L1 expression due to IFN-γ response elements in the PD-L1 promoter region (Lee S J et al., FEBS Letters, 2006, 580:755-762; Flies D B et al., Immunotherapy, 2007, 30(3):251-260). The expression of B7-DC/PD-L2 is largely restricted to myeloid dendritic cells (DCs) and macrophages in lymphoid compartments and is not broadly expressed in peripheral tissues (Flies D B et al., Yale J. Biology Medicine, 2011, 84(4):409-421). In cancer, PD-L1 is expressed on the surface of tumor cells in various solid malignancies such as squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, melanoma, carcinomas of the brain, thyroid, thymus, esophagus, lung, breast, gastrointestinal tract, colorectum, liver, pancreas, kidney etc. (Topalian S L et al., Curr. Opin. Immunol., 2012, 24(2):207-212; Wang X et al., Oncotargets and Therapy, 2016, 9:5023-5039). In hepatocellular carcinoma, melanoma and breast cancer, PD-L1 positivity was correlated with worse prognosis (Muenst S et al., Breast Cancer Res. Treat., 2014, 146(1):15-24; Leung J et al., Immune Network, 2014, 14(6):265-276; Wang Q et al., Medicine (Baltimore), 2017, 96(18): e6369). In contrast, normal human tissues seldom express PD-L1 protein on their cell surface, indicating that PD-L1 can be a selective target for anti-tumor therapy (Chen L et al., J Clin. Invest, 2015, 125(9):3384-3391).

Cancer microenvironment manipulates the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway; induction of PD-L1 expression is associated with inhibition of immune responses against cancer, thus permitting cancer progression and metastasis (He J et al., Scientific Reports, 2015, 5:1-9; Bardhan K et al., Frontiers in Immunology, 2016, 7(550):1-17). Activation of PD-1/PD-L1 pathway induces apoptosis of activated T cells (Dong H et al., Nature Medicine, 2002, 8(8):793-800; Curiel T J et al., Nature Medicine, 2003, 9(5):562-567), facilitates T cell anergy and exhaustion (Barber D L et al., Nature, 2005, 439(7077):682-687), enhances the function of regulatory T cells (Francisco L M et al., J. Exp. Med., 2009, 206(13):3015-3029) and inhibits the proliferation of T cells (Sheppard K A et al., FEBS Letters, 2004, 574:37-41; Patsoukis N et al., Cell Cycle, 2012, 11(23):4305-4309). Therefore, blocking this pathway restores the proliferation and cytotoxicity of CTLs, inhibiting the function of regulatory T cells (Tregs), and results in decrease T cell apoptosis.

Blockade of the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway by therapeutic antibodies has been shown to prevent inhibitory signaling from cancer cells and enabling CTLs to elicit an immune response against the target/cancer cells (Zou W et al., Sci. Transl. Med., 2016, 8(328):328rv4; Smahel M, Int. J. Mol. Sci., 2017, 18(6):1331). A number of cancer immunotherapy agents targeting PD-1 have been developed till date and approved for a number of malignancies including Melanoma, Lung cancer, Kidney cancer, Hodgkin's lymphoma, Head and neck cancer and Urothelial cancer. The first therapeutic anti-PD-L1 antibody was approved by the FDA in May 2016, with a number of additional therapies in the pipeline (https://www.fda.gov/). Still, there are at least 500 clinical studies ongoing with PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies against 20 types of solid and hematological malignant tumors. However, there is still a need for potent and selective small molecule inhibitors of the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway.

Common drug-related adverse effects (AEs) of both anti-PD-1 and anti-PD-L1 antibodies include fatigue, rash, diarrhea, pruritus, decrease appetite, arthralgia and nausea. Immune-related AEs (irAEs) such as dermatitis, colitis, Hepatitis, vitiligo and thryoiditis have been reported and about 10% of patients develop grade 3 or 4 irAEs (Hamanishi J et al., Int. J. Clin. Oncol., 2016, 21:462-473). The long residence time of the monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) could contribute to these AEs, which may be partially circumvented using a small molecule inhibitor. In addition, studies using smaller cell penetrating Biologicals and DNA aptamers have shown to exert antibody-mimic functions and is advantageous over antibody for its chemically synthetic nature, low immunogenicity, and efficient tissue penetration (Lai W Y et al., Mol. Therapy—Nucl. Acids, 2016, 5: e397). Small molecule inhibitors, therefore, can provide increased oral bioavailability, increased bio-efficiency and shortened half-life activity for a more controllable treatment, particularly in the case of auto-immune or other adverse events.

As discussed, the PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitory compounds have vast utility in up-regulating the immune system for efficiently combating cancer. Therefore, the identification of a chemical moiety, especially small molecule inhibitors, that facilitates this inhibition is necessary. Therefore, the identification and development of new PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor compounds treating cancer and other diseases or conditions associated with activation of PD-1/PD-L1 would open new opportunities in the realm of cancer treatment.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Those skilled in the art will be aware that the present disclosure is subject to variations and modifications other than those specifically described. It is to be understood that the present disclosure includes all such variations and modifications. The disclosure also includes all such steps, features, compositions and compounds referred to or indicated in this specification, individually or collectively, and any and all combinations of any or more of such steps or features.

Definitions

For convenience, before further description of the present disclosure, certain terms employed in the specification, and examples are collected here. These definitions should be read in the light of the remainder of the disclosure and understood as by a person of skill in the art. The terms used herein have the meanings recognized and known to those of skill in the art, however, for convenience and completeness, particular terms and their meanings are set forth below.

The articles “a”, “an” and “the” are used to refer to one or to more than one (i.e., to at least one) of the grammatical object of the article.

Throughout the description and the claims which follow, unless the context requires otherwise, the word “comprise”, and variations such as “comprises” and “comprising”, will be understood to imply the inclusion of a stated integer or step or group of integers but not to the exclusion of any other integer or step or group of integers or steps.

The term “including” is used to mean “including but not limited to”. “Including” and “including but not limited to” are used interchangeably.

In the structural formulae given herein and throughout the present disclosure, the following terms have been indicated meaning, unless specifically stated otherwise.

Furthermore, the compound of Formula Ib, Formula Ia, and Formula I can be their derivatives, analogs, stereoisomer's, diastereomers, geometrical isomers, polymorphs, solvates, co-crystals, intermediates, metabolites, prodrugs or pharmaceutically acceptable salts and pharmaceutical compositions.

The compounds of Formula Ib, Formula Ia, Formula I and their polymorphs, stereoisomers, prodrugs, solvates, co-crystals, intermediates, pharmaceutically acceptable salts, and metabolites thereof can also be referred as “compounds of the present disclosure”.

The compounds according to Formula Ib, Formula Ia, and Formula I may contain one or more asymmetric centres (also referred to as a chiral centres) and may, therefore, exist as individual enantiomers, diastereoisomers, or other stereoisomeric forms, or as mixtures thereof. Chiral centres, such as chiral carbon atoms, may also be present in a substituent such as an alkyl group. Where the stereochemistry of a chiral centre present in Formula Ib, Formula Ia, and Formula I or in any chemical structure illustrated herein, is not specified, the structure is intended to encompass any stereoisomer and all mixtures thereof. Thus, compounds according to Formula Ib, Formula Ia, and Formula I containing one or more chiral centres may be used as racemic modifications including racemic mixtures and racemates, enantiomerically-enriched mixtures, or as enantiomerically-pure individual stereoisomers.

Individual stereoisomers of a compound according to Formula Ib, Formula Ia, and Formula I which contain one or more asymmetric centres may be resolved by methods known to those skilled in the art. For example, such resolution may be carried out (1) by formation of diastereoisomeric salts, complexes or other derivatives; (2) by selective reaction with a stereoisomer-specific reagent, for example by enzymatic oxidation or reduction; or (3) by gas-liquid or liquid chromatography in a chiral environment, for example, on a chiral support such as silica with a bound chiral ligand or in the presence of a chiral solvent. It will be appreciated that where the desired stereoisomer is converted into another chemical entity by one of the separation procedures described above, a further step is required to liberate the desired form.

Alternatively, specific stereoisomers may be synthesized by asymmetric synthesis using optically active reagents, substrates, catalysts or solvents, or by converting one enantiomer to the other by asymmetric transformation.

It is to be understood that the references herein to compounds of Formula Ib, Formula Ia, Formula I and salts thereof covers the compounds of Formula Ib. Formula Ia, and Formula I as free bases, or as salts thereof, for example as pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. Thus, in one embodiment, the invention is directed to compounds of Formula Ib, Formula Ia, and Formula I as the free base. In another embodiment, the invention is directed to compounds of Formula Ib. Formula Ia, Formula I, and salts thereof. In a further embodiment, the invention is directed to compounds of Formula Ib, Formula Ia, Formula I and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.

It will be appreciated that pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds according to Formula Ib, Formula Ia, and Formula I may be prepared. Indeed, in certain embodiments of the invention, pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds according to Formula Ib, Formula Ia, and Formula I may be preferred over the respective free base because such salts impart greater stability or solubility to the molecule thereby facilitating formulation into a dosage form. Accordingly, the invention is further directed to compounds of Formula Ib, Formula Ia, Formula I, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.

Included within the scope of the “compounds of the invention” are all solvates (including hydrates), complexes, polymorphs, prodrugs, radiolabelled derivatives, and stereoisomers of the compounds of Formula Ib, Formula Ia, Formula I, and salts thereof.

The compounds of the invention may exist in solid or liquid form. In the solid state, the compounds of the invention may exist in crystalline or non-crystalline form, or as a mixture thereof. For compounds of the invention that are in crystalline form, the skilled artisan will appreciate that pharmaceutically acceptable solvates may be formed wherein solvent molecules are incorporated into the crystalline lattice during crystallization. Solvates may involve non-aqueous solvents such as ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), acetic acid, ethanolamine, and ethyl acetate, or they may involve water as the solvent that is incorporated into the crystalline lattice. Solvates wherein water is the solvent that is incorporated into the crystalline lattice are typically referred to as “hydrates”. Hydrates include stoichiometric hydrates as well as compositions containing variable amounts of water. The invention includes all such solvates.

It will be further appreciated that certain compounds of the invention that exist in crystalline form, including the various solvates thereof, may exhibit polymorphism (i.e. the capacity to occur in different crystalline structures). These different crystalline forms are typically known as “polymorphs”. The invention includes such polymorphs. Polymorphs have the same chemical composition but differ in packing, geometrical arrangement, and other descriptive properties of the crystalline solid state. Polymorphs, therefore, may have different physical properties such as shape, density, hardness, deformability, stability, and dissolution properties. Polymorphs typically exhibit different melting points, IR spectra, and X-ray powder diffraction patterns, which may be used for identification. It will be appreciated that different polymorphs may be produced, for example, by changing or adjusting the reaction conditions or reagents, used in making the compound. For example, changes in temperature, pressure, or solvent may result in polymorphs. In addition, one polymorph may spontaneously convert to another polymorph under certain conditions.

The term “polymorphs” refers to crystal forms of the same molecule, and different polymorphs may have different physical properties such as, for example, melting temperatures, heats of fusion, solubilities, dissolution rates and/or vibrational spectra as a result of the arrangement or conformation of the molecules in the crystal lattice.

The term “substituted” in reference to a group indicates that a hydrogen atom attached to a member atom within a group is replaced. It should be understood that the term “substituted” includes the implicit provision that such substitution be in accordance with the permitted valence of the substituted atom and the substituent and that the substitution results in a stable compound (i.e. one that does not spontaneously undergo transformation such as rearrangement, cyclisation, or elimination). In certain embodiments, a single atom may be substituted with more than one substituent as long as such substitution is in accordance with the permitted valence of the atom. Suitable substituents are defined herein for each substituted or optionally substituted group.

The term “prodrugs” refers to the precursor of the compound of Formula Ib, Formula Ia, and Formula I which on administration undergoes chemical conversion by metabolic processes before becoming active pharmacological substances. In general, such prodrugs will be functional derivatives of a compound of the invention, which are readily convertible in vivo into a compound of the invention.

The term “effective amount” refers to an amount or concentration of the compound of Formula Ib, Formula Ia, and Formula I that produces a biological response either individually or when present in a pharmaceutical composition. The term effective amount or effective dose can be used interchangeably when measurements are taken either in vivo, or in vitro.

The term “alkyl” refers to a saturated hydrocarbon chain having the specified number of carbon atoms. For example, which are not limited, C₁₋₁₀ alkyl refers to an alkyl group having from 1-10 carbon atoms, 1-6 carbon atoms, or 1-4 carbon atoms. Alkyl groups may be straight or branched chained groups. Representative branched alkyl groups have one, two, or three branches. Preferred alkyl groups include, without limitation, methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, and t-butyl.

The term “alkoxy” refers to an alkyl group attached via an oxygen linkage to the rest of the molecule. For example, C₁₋₁₀ alkoxy refers to an alkyl group having from 1-10 carbon atoms, or 1-6 carbon atoms, or 1-4 carbon atoms, attached via an oxygen linkage to the rest of the molecule.

General Procedure for Biological Evaluation

PD-L1 Enzyme Assay: Homogenous Time-Resolved Fluorescence (HTRF) Binding Assay

All binding studies were performed using PD-1/PD-L1 Binding Assay Kit from CisBio (Catalog #63ADK000CPAPEG), according to the manufacturer's protocol. The interaction between Tag1-PD-1 and Tag2-PD-1 was detected by anti-Tag1-Eu³⁺ (HTRF donor) and anti-Tag2-XL665 (HTRF acceptor). When the donor and acceptor antibodies were brought to close proximity due to PD-1 and PD-L1 binding, excitation of the donor antibody triggered fluorescent resonance energy transfer (FRET) towards the acceptor antibody, which in turn emitted specifically at 665 nm. This specific signal is positively proportional to PD-1/PD-L1 interaction. The compounds blocking PD-1/PD-L1 interaction will cause a reduction in HTRF signal. The necessary reagents were mixed in the following order: 2 μl compounds (or diluents buffer), 4 μl PD-L1 protein, 4 μl PD-1 protein. After an incubation of 15 minutes, 5 μl of anti-Tag1-Eu³⁺ and 5 μl of anti-Tag2-XL665 were added. The plate was sealed and incubated at RT for 1 h. The fluorescence emission was read at two different wavelengths (665 nm and 620 nm) on a BMG PheraStar® multiplate reader. Results were calculated from the 665 nm and 620 nm fluorescence signal and expressed in HTRF ratio=(665 nm/620 nm)×104.

Table 1 illustrates that most of the tested compounds were found to be effectively blocking the PD1/PD-L1 when evaluated through Homogenous Time-Resolved Fluorescence (HTRF) binding assay. The IC₅₀ values display the efficacy of the compounds in inhibiting the PD1/PD-L1 activation. IC₅₀ value indicates how much of a particular drug or a compound is needed to inhibit a 50% of the interaction of PD1/PD-L1. A low value of IC₅₀ denotes high inhibition efficacy of the test compound (Compounds 1-65 as described hereinabove). However, in the above Table 1, high efficacy is denoted by “A”, “B”, and “C”, wherein “A” having least value of IC₅₀ and thus most effective.

The above mentioned compounds have potency to be developed as drugs to alleviate the PD1/PD-L1 activity and thus treating cancer, and other diseases or conditions associated with activation of PD1/PD-L1.

ADME and Pharamcokinetics of Compound-45

Metabolic Stability in Liver Microsomes

Procedure: Potassium phosphate buffer (66.7 mM, pH 7.4) containing mouse or rat or dog or monkey or human liver microsomes (0.5 mg/mL) was pre-incubated separately with compound (1 μM) and positive control (verapamil, 1 μM) in a 37° C. water bath for 5 min. The reactions were initiated by adding 20 μL of 10 mM NADPH. Reactions without NADPH (0 and 30 min) were also incubated to rule out non-NADPH metabolism or chemical instability in the incubation buffer. All reactions were terminated using 200 μL of ice-cold acetonitrile containing internal standard at 0, 5, 15 and 30 min. The vials were centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 15 min. The reaction mixtures (obtained from the above studies) were extracted, processed and analyzed by LC-MS [Shimadzu SIL LC series (Kyoto, Japan) was coupled to an API-4000 Mass Spectrometer (MDS Sciex, Toronto, Canada)] to monitor the disappearance of compound.

Conclusion: Metabolic stability of compound-45 in different species of liver microsomes compound-45 was found to be highly stable (>80%) in mice, rat, dog and human liver microsomes.

Caco-2 Permeability

Procedure: Caco-2 human intestinal epithelial cells were plated in 24-Transwell® dual chamber plates (Millipore, Billerica, Mass., USA) (cell density of 80,000 cells/cm² on day-1). The permeability studies were conducted with the monolayers cultured for 21 to 22 days in culture. The integrity of each Caco-2 cell monolayer was certified by trans epithelial electrical resistance (TEER) test (pre-experiment) and by determining the permeability of reference compound i.e., Lucifer yellow. Caco-2 cell monolayers with TEER values greater than 500 Ωcm² were considered for experimentation. Digoxin (5 μM) was used as a positive control for P-gp substrate. The concentrations of compound used in the assay was 5 μM. HBSS Buffer was used as the medium for the transport assay and the final concentration of DMSO in spiking solution was 0.05%. The bi-directional permeability study was initiated by adding an appropriate volume of HBSS buffer containing compound to respective apical and basolateral chambers (n=3). An aliquot of sample (100 μL) was taken from both chambers at 0 and 60 min of the incubation period and to this equal volume of acetonitrile was added, mixed gently and centrifuged at 4000 rpm for 10 min. An aliquot of 100 μL was subsequently transferred to the auto-sampler and 10 μL was injected for analysis on LC-MS/MS.

In Vivo Efficacy of Compound-45 in RENCA Renal Model (FIG. 1 ):

RENCA renal cancer cell line was procured from ATCC, USA and grown in the recommended media and culture conditions. Cells in the exponential phase were mixed with equal volume of matrigel in a 1:1 ratio, followed by implantation of 1×10⁶ cells/100 μl subcutaneously on the right flank of immunocompetant Balb/c mice (1 site/mouse). Tumor cells were engrafted at the site of injection within 1-2 weeks of implantation and treatment was initiated by randomizing mice into study groups of N=10, when the average tumor volume reached 100 mm³. Tumor bearing mice were treated with Vehicle (oral), Vehicle (IP), Compound B (orally at 30 mg/kg dose, twice daily) or Anti-PD-L1 mAb (Clone 10F.9G2, BioXcell) intraperitoneally at 0.1 mg/mouse, Q4D. Tumor volume and mouse body weight was measured three times per week during treatment, until the tumor volume reached a maximum of 2000 mm³. Tumor volume (mm³) was calculated using the formula—(tumor length)×(tumor width)²/2. For pharmacokinetic parameters of Compound B, plasma and tumors were isolated at the end of the study and analyzed. Tumor growth inhibition was calculated after normalizing the tumor volume on a given day to that on day 1 based on the formula below: % TGI=[1−(Treatment TV _(Final)−Treatment TV _(initial))/(Vehicle TV _(Final)−Vehicle TV _(initial))]*100
